Return of the TDM Discussion Series!

September 19th, 2009

We’ve discussed the first book, Twilight. We’ve even discussed every character from Bella Swan to Leah Clearwater.

So what’s next? A discussion on the second book, of course, New Moon!

I’ve been wanting to reread New Moon for a while now, but I wanted to time it in such a way that the last chapter (the Epilogue) would coincide with the premiere of the film on November 20th. And then Cutie from Super Secret Twilight Blog gave me the wonderful idea: “Why not discuss New Moon?”

It happened just like in the cartoons, a light bulb literally turned on above my head. And then my boyf scolded me for using the computer in the dark (strains the eyes, ya know). ;)

But I digress…

The TDM Discussion Series: New Moon will formally begin this Thursday, September 24th. We’ll be reading 3 chapters a week, the last of which (the Epilogue) will be discussed on November 19th, Thursday. Just as before, recaps will be posted on Sundays, so be sure to participate in the discussion every Thursday from now until November 20th! (See the reading schedule below for more information.)

So spread the word, tell your friends, and please do participate in the discussion. Here’s a button you can place in your blog’s sidebar to help me promote this book discussion. You can link it back to this post because I’ll be updating the reading schedule with the individual posts’ links.

I can’t wait to start rereading New Moon with you! :D

I am so excited. I have never participated in a discussion before. My only problem will be only reading 3 chapters at a time.

@Rachel: I know, it will be hard… But hopefully the discussion will help keep you focused on just three chapters at a time. :D

Thanks for the comments, guys! I’m super excited for Thursday to get here… :D (Not to mention Nov. 20… 61 more days to go, woot!)

I grabbed my book off the shelf tonight and looked over chapters one through three. Ugh, reading the end of Ch 3 is so hard. Looking back over Bella’s pain makes my own chest tighten, my throat thicken, my shoulders sag in defeat. One word breaks me every time…’Wait.’ As she calls out for him. I hate chapters one through three but I appreciate how Stephanie can get us to feel Bella’s hurt right along side of her. All I can say is thank goodness for the end of NM to make it all worth while in the end. : )

@First Blush: Yes, chapters 1-3 get me every time… And you’re right, that one little word “Wait” breaks my heart every time I read it.

I AM STOKED!!!! I just started re-reading Twilight so I will need to hustle to get ready for Thursday. But I’m fairly confident I can do this. Sleep? I don’t need to *bleeping* sleep!
